To OP, I wouldn't worry about it unless you're noticing changes in drivability or getting some sort of overheating warning lights/messages but that's just me. Make sure your coolant and oil level are good and enjoy the car.
Nearly 3,500 rpm in 6th gear and you are barely above 70 mph? My car is pulling about 80 mph in top gear at those revs.
